Making progress on my cowboy.
He's still rockin' his paper towel hat.
I tightened up the joints on the body with floor polish, and gave him some extra bulk underneath with taped-on tissue paper.
His jacket is actually a Hot Toys piece, from their Aldo Raine figure (Inglorious Basterds) but I repainted it.
The rest of his clothes. pistol belt, and boots are from Battlegear Toys.
Reworked his Krag Jorgensen rifle.
Gave 'em a boot knife.
Also busted out more paper towel and hockey tape to make him an ammo bag for his rifle, and a cap-and-ball ammo pouch for his pistol.
Here's a WIP of the ammo bag.
And finished, painted and floor polished. Stuck some painted carnation ribbon on for a shoulder strap.
And the pistol pouch. There's a Colt Navy in the holster.
I poked a hole in the bottom of the pouch, then bend and trimmed a staple to act as a toggle/keeper.
A daub of glue keeps it closed up nice.
Working on a 'hoboroll' right now, may add a larger Possibles Pouch, walking stick, and a larger belt knife.
